I can’t believe a company like Vodafone is gonna launch this product which works only on EDGE networks!! Come on Vodafone, we are in the age of fast data speeds(3G, 4G, LTE & Wimax) and companies like yours are just holding us back in the EDGE age.
As for the product, it’s a really innovative one but is let down by poor connectivity options (I assume the device doesn’t even have WiFi).
